Chapter 1471 Family Portrait on Old Photos
They looked at each other, and finally pretended to slip away with various excuses like running away to the toilet, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if someone was trying to kill them from behind.
Not until everyone had left did Secretary Liu look at the blond boy who was still curled up on the sofa without moving.
"Mr. Kino, I want to ask you a few questions."
The door of the box was closed silently, and the noisy sounds were locked behind the door. Everything suddenly became quiet. The young man leaned against the sofa, holding a cocktail. The dim and dazzling light swirled through the wine and glass and projected onto his face, illuminating a wicked smile that seemed to be drunk.
He smiled and raised his glass, raised it towards Secretary Liu from a distance, and greeted him in a long voice.
"Yo~"
At the same time, in different places across the city and even as far away as New York, people were surrounded one after another and taken away either with great fanfare or silently.

Also in the imperial capital.
Cheng's house is located in a suburban area far away from the city center. There is a spacious study in the deep courtyard which is heavily protected by walls and armed soldiers.
The furnishings in the study were simple. In the dark night, only the light from the courtyard outside the window filtered through the curtains, making everything dim and cold.
After a long silence, someone opened the door with a click and walked in slowly.
More light filtered into the hall outside the door, outlining the slightly hunched figure of the old man.
Commander Cheng rarely bends his back. He always appears in front of many people with the posture of an iron-blooded soldier. Even with white hair, he always walks with the wind, and every step he takes is as loud and powerful as a sound.
But today, his back, which was always straight, seemed to be weighed down by the three gavel sounds representing the verdict in the courtroom during the live broadcast on TV, and he couldn't straighten up.
The orderly behind him wanted to lift his foot to help him, but the old man gently waved his hand and refused.
"Zhiyuan doesn't want anyone to enter his study, so I won't come in."
The orderly had to give up, and the old man walked into the room alone, groping in the dark, looking at the vague outlines of the furniture in the darkness, groping his way to the desk, and then he turned on the desk lamp.
The desk lamp is also old-fashioned, made many years ago, and is still used by his grandson. The light bulb has only been changed a few times - even the light bulb needs to be customized, and this old-fashioned light bulb is no longer available on the market.
The light is yellowish and has a rough texture. It brings a slight chill in the dark night and shrouds the desk like mist.
There were few things on the table, just the four treasures of the study, a computer, and a few neatly arranged files. It exuded a cold and rule-bound air, and one could almost see the owner's unkindness through these furnishings.
The old man turned the desk lamp, illuminating the two photo frames on the corner of the table. He picked up one of them and held it before his eyes.
The photo inside the glass was very old. It was a family portrait with five people in total.
They are the younger him, his bad-tempered daughter, his grandson who looks like he keeps strangers away even at a young age, and two other couples who are both very good-looking.
The man had extremely dark eyebrows and eyes, outlining his almost sharp handsomeness, but his expression was exactly the same as his son's, both looked cold. However, the woman standing next to him was very gentle. She smiled and held her son in one hand, while using the other hand to poke the corner of her husband's mouth into a smile.
Just looking at it makes people feel happy and sweet.
But all this was frozen in the photo, and this happiness stopped for more than ten years.
